Need some help with URL layout

Hi folks, please excuse this long-winded post, but I'm a bit stuck with the layout of my urls.py. Let me try to explain what the site I'm using Django for does at the moment: Basically it's a website where local birdwatchers (the ones with feathers, not boobies ;-) can log their observations. By "

Re: Need some help with URL layout

Hi folks, one more thing: In order to allow chaning of countries / regions, I was thinking of adding a bit of html to the top of each page where a user can select the country in the first popup, then the region popup populates (pun intended ;-) the the regions for the selected country, and one "su

How to create navigation urls in an intelligent manner

Hi folks, this posting sort of refers to my previous problem from last week as I'm still working on the birdwatcher's site. I cannot wrap my head around how to create intelligent navigation links from the current context or http request. For instance, if the user enters via the url /de/observers/

Re: How to create navigation urls in an intelligent manner

Thanks Bruno, I'll look into the custom template tags you mentioned. I had no idea when I started out with this project that I'd be knee deep into advanced django after a couple of weeks ;-) BTW, can you recommend the "pro django" book? All the best & thanks again for your help, Uwe -- You rec

Need help selecting a distinct set of values from a queryset

Hi folks, some of you may remember I'm working on a site for birders where they can enter and keep track of their observations of various birds. Multiple viewings of a species can be entered at different observation locations, so for the ranking page (which considers only the number of distinct s

Re: Need help selecting a distinct set of values from a queryset

Sorry to follow up on my own drivel, but I think I've found a solution in the fine django docs: obs = Observation.objects.filter(observer=o.id,location__location_area__area_country__country_abbrev=country_code).values("bird_id").annotate(Count("bird")) seems to do the job nicely for all combinati

Authenticating from a mysql database

Hi folks, I'm in the process of migrating (or re-designing for that matter) a Zope-based user database /ranking system over to Django with roughly 30,000 accounts in it. The Zope instance uses SimpleUserFolder for authentication, so I was wondering if there is a way to authenticate django users fr

Re: Authenticating from a mysql database

Hello Jonas, thanks again for your reply. I think migrating the database over to django may be a good idea, however it's still being used as a legacy authentication database for other projects. In case I'd decide to migrate the existing users over to the new database, how could I make sure the pa

Creating the testing db fails (django 1.8.5)

Hi folks, this is my first posting in this group, so I'm sorry in advance if I'm breaking any rules or missing some vital information. My setup: Ubuntu Server 14.04.x Python 2.7.6 Django 1.8.4 (updated to 1.8.5 recently) installed via "pip" MariaDB 5.5.44 I'm trying to set up a test framework

Re: Upgrade path for Django 1.4.9 to Django 1.6.0

Hi Mark, I recently had the same issue, I went from 1.3.x to 1.4.21 and then to 1.8.5 via 1.7.x without any major issues. Granted my application isn't too complex and doesn't use too many of Django's internal bells and whistles, but the major obstacles for me were adding some new entries to s

Re: Creating the testing db fails (django 1.8.5)

Here's some more info in case it helps: The "manage.py test" call seems to get as far as creating the table "django_migrations", then things break. The production DB has several more tables (25 in all) I'm not seeing in the output below, so I guess this issue must be related to the migrations
